Photo:   The esteemed elder Pao Cheng (Communist transliteration: Bao Zheng) was a Chinese politician during the reign of Emperor Renzong in China's Sung Dynasty. During his twenty-five years in civil service, Bao consistently demonstrated extreme honesty and uprightness, with actions such as sentencing his own uncle, impeaching an uncle of the emperor's favourite concubine and punishing powerful families. His appointment from 1057 to 1058 as the prefect of Sung's capital Kaifeng, where he initiated a number of changes better to hear the grievances of the people, made him a legendary figure. During his years in office, he gained the honorific title Justice Pao (包青天) due to his ability to help peasants overcome corruption.
